Why would you put a joke language that people use to troll other developers, and Brainfuck together into the same project?

There is PHP parser written in PHP [0], a PHP VM implementation (running PHP code with PHP) [1] and a AOT compiler for PHP which is written in PHP, for a subset of the PHP language [2]. So yeah, it is already happening.
